News & upcoming concerts

News and upcomings concerts!!

Dear all,

I hope you've all spent a lovely summer!  

I can look back on a wonderful summer which started off with two performances with my new vocal group the Luxembourg Jazz Voices. It was an exciting and new experience for me to be leading this wonderful group of people and what a joy to have been given this great opportunity by the INECC. We will continue our rehearsals mid-September and will be preparing for some new concerts in December. You can follow us here on Facebook!

Charity concert for children in Afghanistan

This coming Saturday 15th September the 5th edition of Sophia's Garden Concerts will be taking place in the beautiful gardens of the Dutch Embassy in Weimershof. I will be performing with guitar player Paulo Simoes alongside Voices International, Sultry and the Roman Ensemble from Amsterdam. Young and old are welcome to join this wonderful afternoon with music, an art auction, drinks, food and activities for the children. Please let Sophia know if you're coming. All proceeds and donations will go to the Mobile Mini Circus for Children in Afghanistan. Really a wonderful cause!
 

Singing Lessons

I've started giving singing lessons at my home for beginners and for more experienced singers. I truly enjoy working with all these different people and it's giving me lots of fulfillment to help singers becoming more free and powerful with their voice. If you're interested in lessons, don't hesitate to contact me for an introductory lesson!
You can find more information on my Facebook Page.
 
 

Duo Concert with
Frank Harrison!


On Saturday 20th October I have the pleasure and honor to be performing at the Valentiny Foundation in Remerschen together with my wonderful piano player Frank Harrison. We will be performing some songs from our album "Beneath the Blue" but we will also let ourselves be inspired by the beautiful space for spontaneous improvisation. 

You will be able to visit the current exhibition "Der Mensch als Ausgangspunkt" and a drink will be offered after the concert. Come and join us on this cultural evening!
 

Workshop "Singing your Song🎶


On Sunday 21st October (from 10.30 - 16.30) I will be holding a singing workshop again together with piano player Frank Harrison. The workshop is for 6 - 8 singers and the idea is that you prepare a jazz or bossa nova song at home and on this day you will get the opportunity to sing your song with Frank as your accompanist and work on it. You could see it as a kind of masterclass in which we will also learn a lot from listening to each other. If you're interested in attending this workshop or if you have more questions, don't hesitate to contact me!

The fee for the workshop is 80 €. Whereabout: at Camille Kerger's house in Hellange. 

 
Thanks for your support and wishing you all a great start again after the summer and hope to see you on one of these occasions!

Take care and stay tuned ;-)
Edith

Dear all,

I hope you are all doing well! It's been a while since my last proper newsletter so I wanted to give you a little update of the things I've been working on and tell you about an upcoming concert and workshop in June. 

Luxembourg Jazz Voices

I've been pretty busy the last couple of months with setting up a new vocal group for the INECC Luxembourg which has been really exciting. I found 14 wonderful singers and we started rehearsing mid-april. We're working very hard on our songs as we will already have two performances together with the Luxembourg Little Big Band on 13th July in Mamer and 21st July at the Blues & Jazz Rallye in town. We will bring a mix of jazz, samba, groove and bossa nova. So exciting!! Please come and support us if you're around :-)
 

Singing Lessons

I started giving singing lessons at my home in Sandweiler and I'm really enjoying it whether it's doing breathing and vocal exercises with beginners or working with more experienced singers on their songs. If you're interested in having singing lessons yourself or if you know anyone who is looking for a teacher please don't hesitate to contact me for an introduction lesson. Here on my Facebook Page you can find some more information. 

Duo concert with Frank Harrison 

I'm very happy and thrilled that piano player Frank Harrison will come to Luxembourg again to perform an intimate duo concert with me at Camille Kerger's wonderful house in Hellange. It will take place on Saturday 9th June at 20:00 hours. If you would like to come, please reserve places with me or Camille Kerger as places are limited. Hope to see you there! Entrance is free but after the concert you can voluntarily give a contribution. 


 
 

Workshop "Singing your Song" 

On Sunday 10th June I will be hosting a jazz singing workshop together with Frank Harrison for 6 - 8 singers. This will also take place at Camille Kerger's house in Hellange from 11.00 until 16.30. In the morning we will do warm-up, body and vocal exercises and in the afternoon everybody will get a chance to sing a jazz song of their choice accompanied by Frank. A wonderful opportunity to sing with a great accompanist and work on a song and perform it for a small group of people. The costs will be 80 € for the day. Let me know if you would like to have some more information or if you would like to reserve a spot. 

Well, wishing you a wonderful long weekend and hopefully see you soon. Stay tuned! Best, Edith

Dear all, 


here a little update of some upcoming concerts. Somehow I'm always involved in many different projects and bands and although it sometimes feels a bit hectic to do so many different things I do enjoy it very much to have all those different experiences and work with many wonderful musicians. Here a selection of what's coming up next:

Sophia's Garden Concert


This coming Saturday 13th May I have the honour and pleasure to be singing at a charity event organised by 10 year old Sophia Jansen. A little girl with a mission! 3 Years ago she started organizing garden concerts to raise money for a great cause in Afghanistan, a circus school for children where they can experience some happiness again and just have fun. And learn a lot of things along the way! Just as last year the garden concert will be taking place in the beautiful garden of the residence of the Dutch Ambassador in Weimershof from 14.00 - 18.00. To get more information about this concert and to support Sophia's mission you can follow her on Facebook.

A new album in the making.....


And last but not least: with my trio I'm working on a new album and I feel so blessed to be able to work with these two amazing musicians: piano player Frank Harrison and bass player Davide Petrocca. It was just wonderful to be recording with them and we've now finished mixing the tunes and we decided which ones we would like to have on the album. We recorded some swing tunes, some ballads, an original song, a beautiful italian love song, a swedish waltz and a composition from a luxembourgish composer. I can't wait to be sharing these new songs with you and I will definitely keep you up to date about a release date. For your agenda: on Sunday morning 8th October we will be playing at the Abbaye de Neumünster!

Many warm greetings,
